In the previous post on testing Ansible roles with Travis-CI, I introduced a method to run playbooks on CentOS using Docker. In this post, we take this one step further and show how you can run multi-platform tests of Ansible roles.

In this first post on testing Ansible roles with Travis-CI, we’ll discuss how you can apply a test playbook on CentOS. Out-of-the-box, Travis-CI doesn’t support CentOS, as its test environment is Ubuntu-based. However, Travis-CI allows you to set up a Docker container and this opens up all kinds of possibilities.
